Does anyone have any facts on that? I'd love to hear them, just to strike down what I'm going to hear at work tomorrow.

McCain Mocks Obama 'Infomercial' for Delaying World Series Game
By Michael D. Shear
HERSHEY, Pa. -- Sen. John McCain made a direct appeal to baseball lovers Tuesday morning while mocking his rival's decision to buy 30 minutes of television time Wednesday night for an address to the nation.

"No one will delay the World Series with an infomercial when I'm president," he said to the approval of a crowd of thousands at a stadium here.

The Fox television network agreed with a request by Major League Baseball to move the start of Game 6 of the series by 15 minutes to accommodate Obama's purchase of the television time, during which he plans to make his closing campaign argument.

In fact, McCain's own convention speech this summer forced a change in the start time of the NFL's season opener, which started an hour and a half earlier to accommodate McCain's speech.
